From gifts for the beauty beginner to the makeup maximalist, we've got you covered
We need to talk about Christmas presents. Yes, really. In that marathon known as Christmas shopping, preparation is key. Besides, isn’t it better to spread the cost of your Christmas haul over a couple of pay days?! That’s what we thought. Besides, everyone LOVES Christmas beauty gift sets. And we love buying them. (For other people. Well, mostly…)
But be warned, it’s a gift-set minefield out there. So luckily for you, we’ve been jolly helpful and done the work for you; rounding up the best of the bunch.
You. Are. Welcome. Happy Christmas.
